Abstract

A reverse direction supported particle swarm optimization (RDS-PSO) method was proposed in this paper. The main idea to create such a method relies that on benefiting from global worst particle in reverse direction. It offers avoiding from local optimal solutions and providing diversity thanks to its flexible velocity update equation. Various experimental studies have been done in order to evaluate the effect of variable inertia weight parameter on RDS-PSO by using of Rosenbrock, Rastrigin, Griewangk and Ackley test functions. Experimental results showed that RDS-PSO, executed with increasing inertia weight, offered relatively better performance than RDS-PSO with decreasing one. RDS-PSO executed with increasing inertia weight produced remarkable improvements except on Rastrigin function when it is compared with original PSO.
